Ralph Kiner said Ewell Blackwell was the toughest pitcher he ever faced, does anyone believe that Blackwell was an all-time great?
No because stats are facts, not opinions.

Well, if I ever needed a life or death medical opinion, I will take the top Doctors at The Mayo Clinic or John Hopkins... but you should go to a $5 Fortune Teller..... since "opinions are like assholes..." Yes, a bit of a harsh example, but the point is that the quality of an opinion means everything.
Statistics have been USED AS A TOOL TO
SUPPORT OPINIONS since the beginning of human's ability for creative thinking.
So... let's keep arguing, because....
My stats are better than your stats!
